Newton's Second Law [Springboard]

The instructor leads students through this worksheet via classroom discussion and the included presentation.

Newton's Second Law is the topic. I conduct this lesson in my own class after lab activities that establish Newton's second law: a = F/m.

After some exposition, the lesson proceeds with the analysis of a sequence of grocery cart races. The lesson ends with a few calculations using F = ma.
